Courageous Francisco "Bandido" Vargas, the new WBC super featherweight champion, visited the Los Angeles offices of the WBC, where Pepe Sulaiman presented him with the item he so longed for, the well earned prestigious and famed green and gold belt, along with a (gentle) pat on the back for a tremendous, gutsy performance last Saturday night - which is a powerful candidate for Fight Of The Year.    

"Bandido" is in Los Angeles enjoying a well deserved  vacation after his heroic triumph over rugged and tough Takashi Miura at the Mandalay Bay of Las Vegas. 

Francisco Vargas commented: “ This time the knockout artist was knocked,“ making a rapping reference to Takashi Miura defeating a fistful of Mexican fighters up to that point.  That gallant hit list including :  Gamaliel "Plátano" Diaz, Dante "Crazy" Jardón, Sergio Thompson and Edgar Puerta.

Vargas will be honored  by the WBC in a special ceremony upon on his return to Mexico.
